If you did not do so already; I would recommend checking the operation of the float check valve if the float bowl is dry. Also, is the float level set properly??? 2cents2cents

IMHO the easiest and coolest would be to install a rebuilt/balanced 230 or 251.
If I were going for a daily driver I might consider going with a 4BT or 6BT Cummins.2cents
Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that. I was going with the assumption they were 5.0" center to center like the hood handle on my last truck which was a 1965 M35A2. Anyway, 4.0" will do the trick for my application.
McMaster-Carr lists some on their site that have similar dimensions for $2.75 ea.

The bolt pattern on the front bumper of my truck matches the bolt pattern of the rear pintle of my 1944 Willys MB. I do not think you would want to have a heavier pintle than that mounted to the front bumper without adding some supporting structure behind it.2cents
I want to add Item #2 to my hood as well as mounting one to the side of the brush guard (saw the mod on bigelk50's dad's truck), see modified pic below.
FWIW - I got my truck from the GL (Ex USAF) and it came with holes in the front bumper to mount a pintle and the heater air intake is in the lower position.
I did that trip in February of 1988 in my 1988 Dodge W250 along with a friend in his 1985 Jeep Cherokee. I always thought that was and still is some beautiful country. Thanks for posting your pics.[thumbzup]
While I would prefer to drive my M35, I usually end up driving my Cummins powered Dodge 3500 because the Dodge gets 2X the fuel economy when compared to the M35. However, I do make sure my M35 gets driven at least once a week.
I have a whistler and I drive it at least once a week and I like the sound...You only really notice the whistle at low speeds...Of course my hearing is not what it was when I was younger. ;)

He has a center seat/console setup the looks like the hot ticket to me.
